Faith Alone

God came down in human form As an infant snug and warm Held within His parents' arms Faith kept Him from evil harms. Joseph and Mary plodding on, Traveling on faith alone. Warned by angels, a sudden flight, Shielding Babe from Herod's might. Guided by the word of God, Carefully, faithfully they trod. Blessed burro the burden bore. When God asked he gave some more. Joseph trusting in the Word, Ignoring rumors that he heard. Filled with faith in day or dark Just as Noah and ancient ark. Faithful men through out the ages Copying God's words on pages. The Psalmist's poetic phrases Pleasing God with fervent praises. Farmers furrowing the fields Praying God increases yields. Just like these, all saints unknown Live their lives by faith alone.
